Connection

Last updated: august 06, 2025

A connection facilitates communication between D3 and a third-party application. It includes authentication details, endpoints, and other configuration settings required for communication with the external system.

Executing integration commands depends on an established connection. Establishing the connection involves configuring settings on both the integration side and the D3 side.

1. Integration Configuration: Users must first configure settings within the integration's environment to retrieve the necessary credentials, such as client ID, secret, and base URL.

   

2. D3 Configuration: After obtaining the connection parameters, they are entered into D3 to complete the connection setup.
